A 52X CDROM is not the fastest on the market (that would go to Kenwoods 72X), but it is very speedy. The needs of a good solid fast CDROM are pretty obvious, but where the Samsung SC-152 really shines is on price. The SC152 uses the standard geared motorized tray mechanism and can be mounted horizontally or vertically depending on your case. Both the full sized 120mm CD's and smaller half-size 80mm CD's can be read. The front bezel is clean with just an eject button, indication LED, headphone jack and volume wheel for audio disk playback. The drive is virtually identical to other Samsung optical units, and comes with 128KB of buffer memory.
